Job Description

Join Us to Keep Sweeteners Flowing Safely Help us deliver precisely measured, food-safe sugar to customers every day. In this hands-on role, you'll blend quality, safety, and logistics to ensure dry and liquid sweeteners are packaged, documented, and shipped correctly—meeting regulatory, SQF, and GMP expectations. What You'll Tackle Accurately fill and measure bulk sugar in trailers and railcars—meeting customer specs every time. Load and verify liquid sugar co-products using trailers and railcars. Run the sugar tote-filling system from setup through final checks. Complete required quality checks; record results and resolve issues with your team lead. Use computers daily for documentation and make minor programming adjustments at the machine when directed. Cross-train to operate the powdered sugar mill and consistently meet quality targets. Follow safe work practices and keep the area clean, compliant, and audit-ready. Pitch in on additional duties as production needs change. Must-Haves Production/manufacturing experience preferred. Basic computer proficiency; comfortable learning HMI/program changes. Knowledge of—or ability to adopt and promote—SQF and GMP requirements; prior quality systems experience preferred. Fork-truck training readiness and ability to maintain a valid fork truck license; willing to drive as needed. Open to any shift; available for weekend overtime. Physically able to climb stairs/ladders, use catwalks, bend, and lift. High school diploma preferred. How You'll Succeed Here Communicate early and often with teammates and the team leader. Adapt quickly to a fast-paced, changing production schedule. Own decisions and troubleshoot confidently. Bring initiative and a positive attitude from start to finish. Maintain sharp attention to detail—weights, measures, labels, and records. Reality of the Work Repetitive lifting/carrying of 40-50 lbs. Anything over 50 lbs is lifted with a partner or a mechanical device. Growth & Team We value cross-training and problem-solving. You'll expand your skill set—from packaging to milling—while contributing to a collaborative, safety-focused culture. This role summary isn't all-inclusive; responsibilities may evolve with operations.
